For Families Who Expect More

The Critical Thinking Child and Living the Language have partnered to bring the English Reading Foundation Boot Camp™ exclusively to Living the Language families—combining ultimate convenience with research-based excellence delivered directly on-site.

While immersion in French and Spanish builds beautiful linguistic foundations, English literacy remains the cornerstone of academic achievement in American selective enrollment schools, gifted programs, and elite private institutions.
